Gonzo the Face Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Can anyone tell me if a Myanmar National, with a valid Myanmar Passport and a valid Thai Visa to visit Thailand, upon returning to Myanmar may only enter through Yangon, or are other entry points permitted ? The question seems a little strange, I know, but this same individual cannot cross into Myanmar via Mae Sai/Tachalek. Someone said that it was some gov't thing regarding taxes and all returnees had to re-enter thru Yangon... It would be much more convenient for this returnee to enter in Mandalay. Does anyone know if that is permitted> This is via air travel of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetzie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi gonzo, my girlfriend is a shan, holding a Union of myanmar passport. The only say she could come down to thailand is via Air from Yangon, she stays 3hours away from Tachilek , which makes better sense to cross thailand from there but laws prohibit land travel through thailand. So she has to spend good money and precious time making a big detour, which explains why there are severeal burmese immigrants that crossed over to thailand via shady means. hope this answers your qn, however, Myanmar has a new capital, so im not sure if it will be shifted to the new 1 or still in yanngon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
